User Status update on Sales Order Header

Question

Hi all,
I need to update the "User Status" on sales order header when a sales order is saved. As user status reside in JEST, what available user exits are there to change/insert new user statuses? I don't believe the common exits like MV45AFZZ would do.
To clarify, to get to these user statuses, you go to the header of the sales order, select on the 'Status' tab, then click on the "Object Status" pushbutton.
Any help would be greatly appreciated in the form of points!
Thank you.
Liam

Hi Liam,
In the Program MV45AFZZ in the FORM userexit_save_document
you use the following fn module to change the user status
'STATUS_CHANGE_EXTERN'
Example
IF t180-trtyp = 'H'.  "Only creation time
  READ TABLE xvbap WITH KEY matnr = c_matnr.
  IF sy-subrc = 0.  "If above material exist then change status
    LOOP AT xvbap WHERE cuobj NE space
                   AND  matnr =  c_matnr.
      l_objnr = xvbap-objnr.
      CALL FUNCTION 'STATUS_CHANGE_EXTERN'
        EXPORTING
          objnr               = l_objnr
          user_status         = 'E0013'  "Send ej IDOC
          set_chgkz           = 'X'
        EXCEPTIONS
          object_not_found    = 1
          status_inconsistent = 2
          status_not_allowed  = 3
          OTHERS              = 4.
    ENDLOOP.
  ENDIF.
  sy-subrc = 0.  "Restore the previous condition
ENDIF.
